TLDR, during a wave of black humour in 19, ARD made the following (bolded) jokes, which several other chatops and several users found issue with.
- Wogglebug (ainavlyselggoW.ellivselggoW.grebelggoW|gubelggoW#ainavlyselggoW.ellivselggoW.grebelggoW|gubelggoW) has joined #site19
- ChanServ gives channel operator status to Wogglebug
<ARD> You know, if there's one good thing to be said about pedophiles, it's that at least they drive slow in school zones
<qptain_Nemo> creep tonight, huh?
<Vince> ARD wtf
<DrYucatan> what the fuck
<DrYucatan> are we talking about
<DrYucatan> and why
<djkaktus> ARD that was legitimately hilarious.
<DrYucatan> can we not joke about pedophiles in a favourable light at all pls
<djkaktus> I award you the kaktus medal of virtue
<dinghost> 😕
<ARD> drYucatan - you know it was an ironic joke right
<ProcyonGhostor> well I was just about to tell kaktus to just come right out with it if he wants me to fuck him but then other things happen
<djkaktus> I mean dark af but holy shit was it funny.
<Wogglebug> Hi
<djkaktus> ProcyonGhostor: you don't have to tempt me bae
<DrYucatan> just because it is a joke does not mean it is above criticism
<ARD> That's a fair point
<Wogglebug> Ehh
<ProcyonGhostor> but where else will I put my sultriness to use
- djkaktus (rednaxelA.dn|tS.nehT#rednaxelA.dn|tS.nehT) has left #site19
<ARD> However, I dispute the claim that it is painting them in a favorable light
<dinghost> I think his point was that because it was a joke we were not earnestly putting pedophiles in a positive light
- djkaktus (rednaxelA.dn|tS.nehT#rednaxelA.dn|tS.nehT) has joined #site19
<dinghost> Not that jokes are above scrutiny
<ARD> See, I hate pedophiles. They're fucking immature assholes
<djkaktus> oh my god
<Vince> …
<djkaktus> I am a dead man
<Voct> ARD - oooh.
<djkaktus> THE SPIRIT HAS TAKEN ME
<dinghost> Jesus Christ
<ARD> ripperoni kaktusoni
<Wogglebug> had to get some air?
<ProcyonGhostor> I mean I've heard that one before but jesus christ the chutzpah
<djkaktus> THE PASSION HAS ENTERED MY BODY AND MADE ME WHOLE
<Vince> Yeah that's enough for tonight
<DolphinSlugchugger> what the fucking /shit/
<djkaktus> "hello yes I'd like to report a murder"
<djkaktus> "ARD has killed me"
- Vince (ngathF.kcoR.ytr|Pai.ai#ngathF.kcoR.ytr|Pai.ai) has left #site19 (Leaving)
<djkaktus> "yes sir, where I stood"
- ARD boldly goes where no man has gone before
<ProcyonGhostor> federal prison
<Soulless> You know
<Soulless> As a change of topic
<DolphinSlugchugger> dude that is NOT okay, you do not double down on something like that
<ARD> OK real talk what's our halloween costumes
Some ops and users found little issue with these jokes (which are not original in the least, may I note, I've heard them several times in other places), where other ops and users were understandably offended. As far as I can tell there were dark humour jokes already cycling through the conversation.
From there, DrYucatan had a complaint in 17. Wogglebug initially handled it, but I stepped in with a suggestion then decision to give ARD a Warning and direct request to knock it off.
<DrYucatan> howdy can i have an op asap
<TyGently> Hi, DrYucatan
<DrYucatan> hello
<Dexanote> Hello.
<Vince> Fuckit. I said I was going to bail out but I can't. That pair of jokes was disgusting ARD.
<DrYucatan> Uh, so I don't find it appropriate for a joke about pedophilia to be made in #site19 and for ops to then laugh along with it, like at all
<DrYucatan> in any capacity
<Vince> ^
<DolphinSlugchugger> not only fuckin doing it once, but doubling down on it and receiving positive attention /again/
<minmin> uh.
<minmin> I summon ProcyonGhostor .
<DrYucatan> literally "oh haha man you slayed me with that pedophile joke"
<ProcyonGhostor> Uh, I toss the baton to wogglebug because I'm not in opping mindframe right now
<Wogglebug> I uh
<minmin> I thought it was a complaint directed about you
<Wogglebug> I don't know the rule there per se
<minmin> hence the summoning
<Wogglebug> Hmm
<Soulless> Is this about djkaktus's reaction? He's not an operator?
<ARD> Vince, DrYucatan, dolphinslugchugger - I apologize. I initially made the joke as a way to connect to the discussion on 'sexual kryptonite' regarding terms like 'daddy' and 'kid'. It got a good laugh and so I thought it was acceptable. DrYucatan, I apologize for diminishing your complaint. I was still feeling good about the first joke so I decided to double
<ARD> down.
<Wogglebug> Let me consult the rules
<DolphinSlugchugger> not only this, but i'm fucking almost certain this is the second time that same exact joke is
<DolphinSlugchugger> wogglebug: i believe it's covered under "almost anything involving rape"
<Wogglebug> Hmm
<ARD> I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable. I'll do my best to avoid this in the future, and I hope you'll forgive me and we can move past this
<DrYucatan> believe it or not site19 contains sexual abuse survivors hey hey hey
<Wogglebug> Hmm
<ARD> DrYucatan - I did not know this. I thought I was making a relatively harmless, if crude, joke. I apologize.
<DrYucatan> jokes about pedophilia are pretty much never harmless my dude my guy
<TyGently> Yeah, I'd say immediately doubling down on a pedophile joke not just immediately after but in response to respectful complaints about it definitely crosses the line here.
<Wogglebug> I really don't know what the correct response would be here
<Wogglebug> I would say
<minmin> "settled amicably out of court, with a log on 05"
<Wogglebug> That the first joke wouldn't be breaking any rules necessarily, though it's a bit borderline
<Wogglebug> But continuing after people expressed discomfort would be a 'dick move', as it were
<minmin> oh I thought you meant what official action is required
<Wogglebug> I'm not sure whether any action is necessary or not
<Wogglebug> Someone complained, someone apologized
<Dexanote> A Warning?
<ARD> Sure if you want
<Dexanote> Alright.
<ARD> I will consider myself officially warned. I will do my best to recognize these situations in the future and avoid them.
<Vince> I think a logged warning for behavior would be appropriate, personally
<Dexanote> I'm just gonna give you an official Warning here. If that's wrong in the future I'll take the heat, but lets like, not have pedophile jokes in 19 in the future.
<minmin> I don't feel like it's the first time but I can't remember if it's from side chats or main chat so I can't rightly say
<Vince> *lag
<Dexanote> As far as I know this is the first big thing ARD has done. But I'll make a post for the Warning.
<Wogglebug> Hmm
<Wogglebug> I'mma defer to Dex here
<Wogglebug> I'm real bad at assessing humor
<ARD> Actualy
<ARD> *actually
<ARD> Once, a long time ago when I first stumbled in here I got written up
<ARD> I'll dig up the log
<TyGently> A warning seems appropriate.
<Dexanote> I'm gonna make a post for it.
<ARD> cool
<Dexanote> ARD, consider yourself Warned for this behaviour.
<ARD> I will consider myself officially warned. I will do my best to recognize these situations in the future and avoid them.
<Dexanote> Thank you for bringing this to our attention DrYucatan
<Dexanote> Let's not have this happen again.
<Dexanote> Please and thank you.
<minmin> okay, case closed, sprinkle some crack and let's go get lunch or something
<Dexanote> Okay.
<Dexanote> And a statement to the rest of the ops.
<Dexanote> Be more mindful of how you handle this kind of thing in Site19.
<minmin> roger.
<Dexanote> I don't give a hot shit what happens in other chats but for fucks sake, be mindful of how you handle black/tasteless humour in 19.
I apologize for my venom, but we can avoid pedophilia jokes in 19. Operators, please do not encourage these jokes, because frankly they're not worth the hill to die on and we lose nothing really of value by avoiding them.
EDIT Other logs of the same joke, made several days ago, may be forthcoming in the near future.

[2016-09-11 17:26:10] <ARD> ribby "watercraft" would be a good term
[2016-09-11 17:26:19] <AbsentmindedNihilist> and then lakshmi will just spray her with a hose
[2016-09-11 17:26:25] <ARD> i can't stand gay men
[2016-09-11 17:26:25] <AbsentmindedNihilist> because she's too big to fit in a shower
[2016-09-11 17:26:29] <ARD> they're all just fucking assholes

[2016-09-11 17:27:21] <ribby> the Tab is a bad publication
[2016-09-11 17:27:23] ← You left the channel:
As this happened quite a while ago, and ARD has been warned tonight for similar complaints, I will not be pursuing further disciplinary action towards him. This is for posteriety, and I do not wish for the third set of logs to be considered with regards to tonight's incident.
